Where are the most popular mountain hiking destinations in Africa?
The top hiking destinations in Africa include Tanzania’s iconic peaks, Mount Kilimanjaro, and Mount Meru. Both are accessible to beginners, demanding no prior mountaineering expertise. For those aspiring to summit these peaks, our team members, having scaled them all, advise tackling them after a Kilimanjaro expedition. It’s also advantageous to acquire technical climbing experience in more forgiving terrains, such as the Alps or other suitable regions. The mountains can be climbed at any time from January to March, June to December.

When is the best time to go for an African safari in Tanzania?
The ideal time for a Tanzanian safari depends on personal preferences. Opting for a rainy season safari, from November to late December and from mid-March to May, can be cost-effective due to seasonal hotel discounts. There are also much fewer other travelers in the parks. However, be prepared for potential all-day rains. The other months, spanning from January to mid-March and June to October, generally promise excellent, sunny weather, though there can be exceptions. These dry season periods attract the most tourists. The festive season around Christmas is often the easiest. Safari prices are higher during these times.The other months, spanning from January to mid-March and June to October, generally promise excellent, sunny weather, though there can be exceptions.

We believe the optimal time for a safari is at the cusp of these peak season times. In late October, early March, and early June. These transitional periods offer a sweet spot where the rains are either yet to start or just ending, and the tourist influx is still minimal, providing a balanced experience of good weather and relative tranquillity.
